7 Days

Verse 1

Don't judge what you don't know, grew up in the fire

Seen too many nights momma wiping her eyes

Food stamps on the table, dreams on the line

Tryna turn the struggle into something I can shine

Blocks don't love you, they swallow your youth

Learned how to hustle, what else could I do?

I got hope in my veins, pain in my view

Loyal to my blood, put my blade to the truth

Still duckin' from the sirens, pressure on my chest

But I gotta keep pushing, can't settle for less

Yeah, I live with the weight but I deal with the mess

Ain't no fairy tale where I grew up in the West

Chorus

Seven days a week tryna hold on

Praying every night that we last long

All these burdens piling on my hands

Swear to God, I do it for my fam

Hook

We got struggle in the flesh, scars in the rain

Hustling till it hurts, blood in my veins

Ay, seven day struggle, won't break my name

Ay, seven day struggle, it's more than pain

Verse 2

Mama working late since I was six

Saw my brother slide, ain't seen him since

Hate it when the cops pass by slow

Keepin' all the blinds closed, wish they let us grow

Chillin' on the porch with dreams in my grip

Told my cousin one day we gon' dip

Real ones in the dirt, some in a cell

Still I fight like hell, so my family well

Pre-Chorus

Trouble calling, shit, it's nothing new

But I promise I won't lose

Every dollar spent, I keep it true

For the ones that I refuse to lose

Chorus

Seven days a week tryna hold on

Praying every night that we last long

All these burdens piling on my hands

Swear to God, I do it for my fam

Hook

We got struggle in the flesh, scars in the rain

Hustling till it hurts, blood in my veins

Ay, seven day struggle, won't break my name

Ay, seven day struggle, it's more than pain

Bridge

Never had a silver plate, nah, pain run deep

Grew up on the block where the angels don't sleep

Tatted all the faces from the ones I lost

So every move I make, I know what it cost

Verse 3

Ain't no heroes round here, just stories and scars

Tryna save my seeds from the cold and the bars

Hollows in the street still ring my fears

But I ain't let sweat turn to wasted tears

Stackin' every check, it's a season of war

Dreamin' of a crib with a key to the door

Shout out to my people still holding on

All we ever wanted was to right what’s wrong

Chorus

Seven days a week tryna hold on

Praying every night that we last long

All these burdens piling on my hands

Swear to God, I do it for my fam

Hook

We got struggle in the flesh, scars in the rain

Hustling till it hurts, blood in my veins

Ay, seven day struggle, won't break my name

Ay, seven day struggle, it's more than pain
